600 Ilke Homes staff join legal action over job losses

Over 600 former workers at collapsed Flaxby housebuilder Ilke Homes are taking joint legal action over job losses.

More than 1,000 people were made redundant when the firm, which was situated close to junction 47 of the A1, entered administration in July.

Manchester law firm Aticus Law said yesterday it was now acting on behalf of more than 600 ex-employees over the way the redundancy process was managed.

The claim will focus on whether the correct consultation process was followed, and whether ex-employees are eligible to claim for a protective award claim against the company.

Those involved could receive up to eight weeks’ worth of pay in compensation, with a cap of £643 per week.

Edward Judge, a partner at Aticus Law, said:

“The protective award is a vital safety net for so many families in fast-paced redundancy situations that often leave them with no source of income and absolutely no notice.
“However, many people don’t realise that you can only get a protective award payment if you are included as part of the claim and are listed as part of the schedule of claimants attached to the tribunal judgment."


Former staff members have until September 4 to add their names to the schedule of claimants.

Mr Judge said:

“After this unfortunately we won’t be able to accept new applicants, as we will be doing all of the necessary work needed to submit the claim to ACAS."
